It doesn’t make logical sense. Why does the 3-4-5 triangle work out cleanly, and yet π and e are irrational? How can 0.999… and 1 be exactly the same number? Who cares about solving lost and unprovable theorems — how do these help anyone?

I found out that I’m allergic to penicillin when I was a child (in the mid-70s) and had an anaphylactic reaction. I still remember being intubated by the paramedics because I couldn’t breathe.

Five years ago I had tandem stem cell transplants to treat myeloma (blood cancer), which completely wiped out my immune system. I had to have all my childhood vaccines over again, and I was re-tested for penicillin allergy, (because they thought that might have been erased too); it’s definitely still there.

Los Santos, San Fierro, and Las Venturas from GTA San Andreas. I loved to spend hours just exploring, looking for the secret items, and finding the funny little easter eggs and references.
